Registration

Vaishnava Sanga team is brokering the Art of Living accommodation only and you will be asked to pay only for your room/bed during the registration process.


The costs for the festival, separate from accommodations, include Prasadam, sound equipment, flowers, decorations, supplies, and travel expense for speakers (see detailed breakdown in the next answer).


You’re not required to pay for all of these expenses as Vaishnava Sanga Festival is designed in such a way to make participation affordable for everyone.
However, we highly appreciate any voluntary donations, and those who have the ability to donate above the accommodation fee, your contributions will help cover the costs for participants who may not be able to support the event as much financially.

1. Sponsoring plane tickets/travel arrangements for our guest speakers – $7,500

2. Accommodation expense for guest speakers – $4,760

3. Bhoga for Prasadam and kitchen related items – $4,000

4. Decorations & flowers – $2,000

5. Sound equipment, supplies – $1,500

Total festival expense is approximately $20,000.

You can cancel your registration and receive reimbursement up until 30 days before the festival date. After that, reimbursement won’t be possible and your payment will be considered as a donation for supporting the festival.

If you would like to cancel, please get in touch with us as soon as possible by emailing us at vaishnavasanga.canada@gmail.com

We recommend that you register and pay online through the website in advance. This helps us to plan, and prepare in a way that we may be able  to serve you better (logistics, Prasadam quantity, number of children participating in the Children program, etc).
